I just put on a new tire and tube a few weeks ago, and also changed the gear oil. Got another flat today. If I keep the wheel pulley side down on top of a 5 gallon bucket, will gear oil leak out inside the wheel or is there not enough in there to worry about?
be careful theres 5.5 gallons in the rear gear

That's funny.
You should be fine, had mine on it's side before and no leakage.
If it leaks, drain it, install a new gasket and fill it back up.
If it doesn't leak, pretend it doesn't exist
If you like hold it upside down it will leak out. Otherwise it's fine
Thanks for replies, I usually drain/refill it when I get a flat every few years, this is the first time I've had 2 flats in one month and I used my last crush washer last time.
Anneal the crush washer and use it again . ;)
